Kawasaki ZX-R 250 Ninja
The ZXR 250 is a 249*cc (15.2*cu)*Liquid cooled, four stroke, transverse four
cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder (16) made by Kawasaki. It was introduced
in 1988, with a minor update for the 1990 model year, and a considerable
redesign for 1991, after which the ZXR250 received only color scheme changes
until 1993 when a 39hp (29.08kw) and 180km/h (111mp/h) limit was introduced due
to changes in Chinese law (excluding Malaysian models). Like the Honda CBR250,
Yamaha FZR250 and Suzuki GSX-R250, the ZXR250 is noted for advanced, almost
excessive, engineering and design.
